Comments: One of my favorite Mtb races with <span style="color: white;">excellent organization</span> by JR and Gina. <br />
<br />
Fun 3.5 mile, multi-lap course with <span style="color: yellow;">numerous rock and root sections</span>. 95F+ temps and high humidity made for a challenging event. <br />
<br />
In spite of my acrobatic crash (<span style="color: white;">over the handlebars</span> and landed on my back without touching my helmet) and subsequent mechanical repairs, the combination of small fields and numerous DNF's rewarded me with a <span style="color: yellow;">4th place finish</span>.<br />
<br />
Post race activities included a visit to the new <strong><span style="color: white;">Don Knotts</span></strong> statue that was unveiled the morning of the race in downtown Morgantown. <br />

<br />
The name "One-Two" comes from: ONE wheel for unicycles, and TWO wheels for everyone else!<br />
<br />
Below is a map of the two currently completed trails.<br />

<br />
We are currently working on three additional loops.<br />
<br />
PINK is due to be completed next, and is 50% ridable.<br />
<br />
BLUE and ORANGE have been marked with flags and very rough cleared, but are not scheduled for completion until late 2016.<br />
<br />
Ultimately, there will be ~20 miles of trails built in Alameda Park.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">----------------------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Coming in to <strong><span style="font-size: large;">2x12</span></strong>, I had spent very little time on my mountain bike and I knew this may be a problem for a long, rocky course. The great thing about racing sport is that <span style="color: yellow;">every lap</span> is either your first lap or your last lap. With that in mind, I knew I'd be fine!!! (Assuming <span style="color: white;">no bear encounters or face plants</span>).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Racing Big Bear 2x12 in <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><strong>2012</strong></span> is when I fell in love with racing mountain bikes. This was the first time I felt <span style="color: yellow;">fast, fierce, and high on life</span> all at the same time - while completing a workout. The rocks, the single track evergreen section, the loose gravel steep downhill, and the challenging climb at mile 9 gave me every bit of <span style="color: white;">challenge, joy, and sense of accomplishment</span> I could ever dream of on a mountain bike. The fact that I only ride this course once (ok, technically twice) a year but know every inch of the course in my mind makes me love it even more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">2014</span> </strong></span>at 2x 12 was rough - I raced expert and had <span style="color: yellow;">bike trouble</span> so the stress of walking my bike and then riding the remaining laps on a friend's bike made it hard to love the ride. And the Bear....<span style="color: white;">Love that bear</span>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><strong>2015</strong></span> at 2x 12 was equally rough when the course was a <span style="color: yellow;">MUD FEST</span> and I <span style="color: white;">face planted</span> while chickening out of a totally rideable rock section and sported a <span style="color: yellow;">black eye for 3 weeks</span>. The plus side? The golf ball sized shiner landed me a <span style="color: white;">free cheeseburger</span> and free coffee (on separate occasions) and I checked out OK at Urgent Care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">2016</span> </span></strong>at 2x12: I promise, <span style="color: yellow;">all i'm asking for is</span> no bear, no faceplants, and can I have a working bike, please? The weather was looking good and in favor of a DRY 2x12. These trails dry ARE A BLAST. It was going to be a good day. (<span style="color: white;">Dry race. Not dry after party;)</span> - okay, it was going to be a great day!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mike agreed to ride the first lap (Thank you. No hill. No crowd). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The hard part about riding second is the waiting game. As I waited for my teammate to come in on the first lap, the time kept ticking, ticking, ticking. And the one thing every relay-style race has in common is that <span style="color: white;">the waiting sucks</span>. It just does. As Mike's "possible fastest time passed", <span style="color: yellow;">I waited</span>. Then his "predicted time" passed. <span style="color: yellow;">I waited</span>.... As I waited for his "possible slower time," my thoughts changed to: Flat? Bike trouble? Just taking it easy? <span style="color: white;"><strong>Getting older and slower ;) ? </strong></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then word began to trickle in that <span style="color: white;">a rider went down hard</span>. A fellow mountain biker, and friend, had broken his hip. As concern struck the race corral, <span style="color: yellow;">I automatically knew that Mike had stopped to help</span>. There was a 99% chance, NO -- there was a <span style="color: white;">100% chance</span> that if any rider needed medical assistance on the trail at any time that Mike was there. Mike was attending to the rider. Although I had not officially heard that Mike was helping, I felt a <span style="color: white;">sense of calm</span> come over me, knowing he was doing the right thing and remembering that what's important one minute can change in an instant. When one second your thoughts are "ride fast: podium: Strava PR: let's do this" <span style="color: white;"> and the next second</span> your thoughts are instant prayers for the injured rider, thoughts of gratitude for the compassion of the entire cycling community, and feeling proud that your teammate was helping another rider, a genuine gratefulness for a healthy body and the ability to simply ride mountain bikes and enjoy nature becomes your focus -- not racing or winning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After more time had passed, Alice Vernon reported back that <span style="color: yellow;">Mike and one other guy were with the injured rider</span>. Soon after this was confirmed, <span style="color: white;">the race director sent me out</span> for my first lap, knowing that Mike had stopped to help until EMS arrived. As I started my ride, I soaked in the nature, appreciated every rock I safely rode over, and quickly started to feel as alive and happy on the trails as I did in 2012. <span style="color: white;">I rode clean and smooth</span> and simply enjoyed every moment of my time on the trail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><span style="color: white;">Mike set up a hammock</span> for sleeping between laps. And YES it was <span style="color: yellow;">so comfy</span> I had to set up an alarm to make sure I didn't miss my next lap.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkcate3-sjgOombYt68UXQ-vIygCTLaIfJJtpNu9OB2fZ4ABK7JTwIzv5X726Zw87eA1hj0D12LBxMZsUg4t5SmHLtQDP-SKsAk9o5xXckQZ8C0sqCZBO-UHO28vT10CCUIZeTxA/s1600/2016_0614a%252C+2+x+12b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkcate3-sjgOombYt68UXQ-vIygCTLaIfJJtpNu9OB2fZ4ABK7JTwIzv5X726Zw87eA1hj0D12LBxMZsUg4t5SmHLtQDP-SKsAk9o5xXckQZ8C0sqCZBO-UHO28vT10CCUIZeTxA/s400/2016_0614a%252C+2+x+12b.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As the day progressed, <span style="color: yellow;">my race-minded self started to resurface</span>, and I saw our team starting to make up some of the lost time. Team Fat Tire Co had a rough day with flats, and this helped put Mike and I <span style="color: white;">back in the game</span>. I rode clean on my second lap, and was thrilled that this was the first time at 2x12 that <span style="color: yellow;">I rode everything on every lap</span>. No walking, no crashes, <span style="color: white;">no bears</span>, no bike problems, just gliding over rocks and spinning up hills.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the end of the day, we landed a <strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">2nd place co-ed sport</span></strong> podium finish, unofficially changed our 2x12 team name to "<span style="color: white;">Ag3r Pale and Scrawny</span>" (seriously who's <span style="color: white;">paler</span>, me or Mike?!?! and who's scrawny arm is that in race photos, mine or Mikes?!?!), ate burritos, and reconfirmed how much <span style="color: yellow;">we love racing mountain bikes</span>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To show our 100% dedication to dirt (and since <span style="color: yellow;">no roadies were there</span> to advise otherwise) we may or may not have worn the <strong><em>camo kits</em></strong> on the podium. 😂</span><br />

I opted for the Cat 3/4 race in the 2016 Steel City Showdown on a <span style="color: yellow;">BEAUTIFUL Spring day</span> in Pittsburgh. <br />
<br />
Despite the Call for a neutral start the Field of 60 racers were all chomping at the bit. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: white;">All Day Attacks</span> in the short 45 minute race.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately the field was hampered by <span style="color: yellow;">a big crash</span> early into the race that took out more than a few competitors. I was lucky enough to dodge the carnage by a few bike lengths as the sound of carbon on concrete filled the air. <span style="color: white;">Ouch</span>.<br />
<br />
Regardless the race pushed on and I managed to <span style="color: white;">hold towards the front</span> to stay out of trouble but <span style="color: yellow;">missed the breakaway group</span>.<br />
<br />
With a few pulls and a couple of attacks <span style="color: white;">I put in some efforts</span> but ended up <span style="color: yellow;">caught in the swarm</span> of the Steel City Showdown rolling across the line in 30th position.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;">Zooooooooooom</span>.<br />

<br />
This past weekend I was able to travel to Portland, Oregon to race in the final weekend of the Cross Crusade series (at the <span style="color: yellow;">Portland International Raceway</span>).<br />
<br />

I’ve been following this series for years since it is well known for a very fun race scene, mud and lots of riders (averaging over <span style="color: white;">1,100 riders/race day</span>) which makes this the largest cyclocross series in the world.<br />
<br />
As expected the race groups were the largest I’ve ever experienced as I started with <span style="color: white;"><strong>175</strong></span> <span style="color: white;">competitors </span>on Saturday and <span style="color: white;"><strong>168</strong></span> on Sunday. The meant that I was never alone on the course and was pretty much always rubbing elbows with someone. <br />
<br />
Also, since these were my first races of this series, I ended up with call-ups that <span style="color: yellow;">placed me in the rear</span> of the field at the start lines. Below are the vital stats:<br />

There’s a brief sighting of me around the 4:19 mark.<br />

--------------------------<br />
The prerace meeting starts with an apology from the director for the rain and bad day, <span style="color: blue;"><strong>WHAT?</strong></span><br />
<br />
After an evening down pour to loosen up the single track sections the <span style="color: yellow;">sun</span> came out and revealed a glorious day.<br />

Greeted by the <span style="color: white;">Peanut Butter Festival Queen</span> and with her blessings, Team <span style="color: yellow;">Ag3r</span> headed off to the start line.<br />

<br />
Off we go and this is <span style="color: yellow;">the last we see of Richey and Hannah</span>, sprinting up the road and off into the double track. <br />
<br />
Forget about <span style="color: white;">Bobby</span> as he was the <strong>first off the front.</strong><br />
<br />
Double track with gravel bumps that dump you into a ravine for a crossing with a climb into more single track. That is the <span style="color: blue;"><strong>bump and dump section</strong></span> on the map. Here things are a bit bunched up as the riders are not yet sorted out. <br />
<br />
Soon you ascend to the highest elevation of the county on double track that opens up to a <span style="color: blue;"><strong>blue sky</strong></span> view of the surrounding valley. <br />
<br />
Back down into the single track where <span style="color: white;">Kirk decides</span> this is a good time to change out his chain.<br />
<br />
Confusion at the tunnel as they mixed up the course a bit, however they left the water in the creek so racers received a <span style="color: yellow;">bike wash</span> for their efforts. <br />
<br />
Next onto low land river view single track before the <span style="color: white;">ramp up</span> to the finish. <br />
<br />
Here <span style="color: white;">Ray decides</span> to pass and pull out his lead until the gravel pit round about, a bad decision takes him out and results in a lost podium position. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: white;">Kirk rebounds</span> nice and finishes with a clean chain.<br />
<br />
Off to awards after and podiums.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: white;">Hannah impresses</span> all with a <span style="color: yellow;">Race WIN</span> and with another Bike the Wilds <span style="color: yellow;">Series WIN</span>. <br />

<br />
Here is the story by The Man himself:<br />
----------------------------<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Pittsburgh Roubaix 2015</span></strong> <br />
....a Sunday in Hell with the Lid Off!<br />
<br />
Finish Place: <span style="color: yellow;">2nd DFL</span> <br />
<br />
...but I wasn't really DFL since I passed at least 6 riders on the course. The first of these riders were just arriving as I was driving out of the parking lot. My guess is that I was the last rider to arrive before the organizers ran out of PBR and headed for home ......!<br />
<br />
.........therefore DFL's were awarded, and I was the 2nd DFL (?). <br />
<br />
In reality there were about 30 starters and between the DNF's and the riders behind me, I would guess that I finished at about <span style="color: yellow;">20th place</span>).<br />
<br />
Got it...?....!!!<br /><br />Attached pic is from one of the traffic lights in Oakland where we were spotted <span style="color: white;">"obeying"</span> the traffic laws!<br />

This was a unique and fun <span style="color: yellow;">"alley cat"</span> style race with as many cobbled sections as possible (mostly climbs). <br />
<br />
Warm race with a 1pm start, bright sun and 90F temperatures. <br />
<br />
Course started <span style="color: white;">in</span> Schenley Park with a LeMans run <span style="color: white;">up</span> the hill and then heading straight <span style="color: white;">into</span> Panther Hollow (on hiking trails) before looping <span style="color: white;">through</span> Oakland, downtown, Point Park, <span style="color: white;">past</span> Heinz Field <strong>during the Steelers/Green Bay pre-season game</strong>, <span style="color: white;">up</span> to Riverview Park, then winding back <span style="color: white;">down</span> through mini-Appalachia to <span style="color: white;">cross</span> the 40th Street bridge, Lawrenceville, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, <span style="color: white;">around</span> Frick Park, Edgewood, and Homewood before <span style="color: white;">finishing at</span> the Bud Harris Oval. <br />
<br />
Since we were on our own to find the route<span style="color: yellow;"> it took me 48 miles</span> of riding to cover the <span style="color: yellow;">42</span> mile course (several missed or wrong turns ...)!<br />
<br />
2nd DFL prizes were<strong><span style="color: yellow;"> super generous</span></strong> including:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 T-shirts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a PBR bucket & pint glass</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a Dirt Rag commemorative bottle opener</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a Thick water bottle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 passes to the Wheel Mill</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a free oil/filter change certificate, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a gift card for Coffee Tree Roasters. </div>
<br />
Pretty amazing when considering that the entry fee was only $5.<br />
<br />
Cool course!<br />

--------------------------------<br />
Hot, Hot, Hot...<br />
<br />
The Two Mile Run - Bike The Wilds Series - race was fast, dry and you guessed it HOT.<br />
<br />
Attending the race from the <strong>Ag3r-ButlerHealthSystem</strong> squad (Decked out in the <span style="color: yellow;"><strong>new</strong></span> <span style="color: blue;"><strong>Ag3r Camo Kits</strong></span>) included seasoned dirt worms <span style="color: white;">Richie Allen</span>, <span style="color: white;">Dirty Mike Maher</span>, <span style="color: white;">Scorpion Bobby Irwin</span>, <span style="color: white;">Fast Hannah Brewer</span> and <span style="color: white;">Newb N8 Black</span>.<br />

<br />
The <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><strong>Expert Race</strong></span> went off with a LeMans style run up a small grassy hill to the bike park where the real race began. From my vantage point at the bottom of the hill <span style="color: white;">Scorpion Bobby</span> was one of the first to his bike and one of the first to the single track. A definite advantage given the tight turns and narrow passages of the Two Mile Run County Park Mountain Bike Trail. <br />

<br />
My start put me about <span style="color: yellow;">30 riders back</span> going into the single track which gave me a <span style="color: yellow;">prime spot to watch</span> riders falling off their bikes as well as the trail, while jockeying for position on the barely bar width trail. This <span style="color: white;">traffic jam</span> put a sizable gap between the leaders and the main field. The first three miles of the track is a seemingly <span style="color: yellow;">never ending climb</span> to the top of the park. I latched onto a wheel of a rider in a Nationwide Jersey and allowed him to pull me out of the valley. Once at the top the climb, the back side of the park is a very narrow and very twisty, kinda flat, kinda downhill section that allows for no flow and no momentum.<br />

Riding this trail kept reminding me of <span style="color: yellow;">Luke and Leia on the Forest Moon of Endor</span> and the <span style="color: white;">speeders</span> crashing into the trees in <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><strong>Return of the Jedi</strong></span>...<br />

<br />
Of course my riding style is that of a <span style="color: yellow;"><strong>bull in a china shop</strong></span> so it was hard for me to attain and maintain any kind of rhythm or pace. Only twice did my <span style="color: white;">wide bar width clash with narrowly placed saplings</span> and <strong><span style="font-size: large;">toss me to the ground.</span></strong><br />

<br />
As the more nimble riders cleared the carnage from the start of the race, I was being caught and passed. This continued for two laps which I completed in just over 2 hours and 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
Overall it was a very fun race and <span style="color: white;">I could definitely be pulled from the road</span> to do it again.<br />
<br />
I believe that my overall place was 49 out of 62... I have no idea where I finished in category as I cannot decipher the race results on the Bike the Wilds website...<br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;">Here is <strong>the </strong><strong>story:</strong> </span><span style="color: white;">by </span><em><span style="color: white;">Hannah</span><span style="color: white;"> Brewer</span></em><br />
<br />
----------<br />
Fun course, new kit, podium finish, where do I even begin with the Whitepark Throwdown? <br />
<br />
Since everyone and their mom already know that Whitepark is my favorite race course, let’s begin with the new kit. In case you haven’t seen it (hahaha, <span style="color: white;">and we hope you haven’t</span>), it’s <strong><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">CAMO</span></strong><br />
<br />
Three years ago at the Whitepark throwdown (and several races thereafter), some of the ladies started saying things to the effect of “Good race, I saw your <span style="color: yellow;"><strong>yellow</strong></span> sleeves through the trees and just hammered it” , “ugh, <span style="color: yellow;"><strong>yellow</strong></span> sleeves, she’s still right here” or “I saw your <strong><span style="color: yellow;">yellow</span></strong> sleeves and thought, oh yeah, I can catch her!”<br />
<br />
After realizing how difficult it was to see some of the other riders through the trees that had darker, more neutral colored kits, I somewhat jokingly told Henry that I needed a camo kit. <br />
<br />
After all, most of the ladies I race with have neutral colored kits: <br />
Trek/Top Gear – Black kit, <br />
Pathfinder of WV- Green & Black kit, <br />
Pro Bikes- Black kit, <br />
Ag3r - <span style="color: yellow;"><strong>GLOW IN THE DARK</strong></span> kit! <br />
It was true that Ag3r dirt riders could not sneak up on anyone in the woods.<br />
<br />
And so began the conversation of camo kits.....<br />
<br />
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that there was a time during the camo kit planning process that sample jerseys of hunting-style camo kits started showing up in my inbox:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">No to THIS...</span><br />

<strong><u><em>Note to Self:</em></u></strong><br />
Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.<br />
<br />
BUT, being the master kit-designer that he is, Henry hit all of the important elements of a well-designed camouflage kit with the purpose of remaining incognito in the woods without using a traditional camo pattern. Instead, we got the green and black color scheme, the flair of something different, our <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><strong>purple Ag3r logo</strong></span>, and a modern, edgy design that says, <span style="color: white;">“I’m going to Moraine to race mountain bikes not to hunt turkeys.”</span> And this is why I love my team as much as I love racing!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Speaking of <span style="color: yellow;">loving racing</span>, the WhitePark Throwdown is worth all the hype. Trails were <span style="color: white;"><strong>RIPPIN’ FAST</strong></span>, completely dry, and well-maintained. I cut into the woods right behind Nicole Dorinzi, and her teammate, Justine Pagenhardt was right behind me. If you haven’t seen Nicole race, <strong>she climbs like a goddess</strong> and flies through singletrack seemingly effortlessly. There’s no other way to put it, she is <span style="color: white;">FAST</span>. I knew I couldn’t maintain her pace, but I knew I had to work hard to keep Justine off of my back wheel.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzM3ai90hj8cBTqonZ0vF_LexJhFAhv-64DfTTTS1ssWSgNiDHImsxh6TeQ4n5IHwrKk1m0Z1O4iwoBEuoMLaLbnoFlsoM8RRG5oyKWIPOVXnzok-T7PvE4p5wSinmU_s_AtkKtw/s1600/2015_0725+%252804%2529%252C+White+Park+Throwdown%252C+Hannah+Riding.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzM3ai90hj8cBTqonZ0vF_LexJhFAhv-64DfTTTS1ssWSgNiDHImsxh6TeQ4n5IHwrKk1m0Z1O4iwoBEuoMLaLbnoFlsoM8RRG5oyKWIPOVXnzok-T7PvE4p5wSinmU_s_AtkKtw/s400/2015_0725+%252804%2529%252C+White+Park+Throwdown%252C+Hannah+Riding.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The ladies ended up finishing the race in the same order that they entered the woods, but <span style="color: yellow;">I had plenty of blonde ponytail sightings throughout the race</span> to remind me to continue to push myself in order to maintain my position. To make things more confusing, <span style="color: white;">Nicole and Justine look a lot alike</span>, especially when flying through the woods – same kit and same long, blonde hair. <br />
<br />
I never knew if I was seeing Nicole in the singletrack ahead of me, or if I was seeing Justine in the singletrack behind me....???<br />
<br />
If you’ve ever raced Whitepark, you know what I mean – the trails wind back and forth and you often see riders at other spots on the course, but can’t tell how far ahead or how far behind they are. <br />
<br />
<strong>Lap 1:</strong> Blonde ponytail - probably Nicole – nice. <br />
<br />
<strong>Lap 2:</strong> Blonde ponytail -probably Justine catching me – go faster. <br />
<br />
<strong>Lap 3:</strong> Blonde ponytail - don’t care, -go faster either way. <br />
<br />
<strong>Lap 4:</strong> Blonde Ponytail – <span style="color: blue;"><strong>Henry Dimmick...</strong></span>???!!!<br />
<br />
I raced well, felt strong, and <span style="color: yellow;">finished in 2nd place</span> in the Women’s Pro/Expert 1/2/3 Category.<br />

Whitepark continues to be my #1 ... but I continue to be Whiteparks #2. <br />
